After years of building restaurant experiences and working in Dubai’s fine-dining hospitality industry, Chef Pradeep Khullar and Saubhagi Veer have partnered up to turn their attention to their own passion venture, Bhaturewala — a focused One-Dish food concept dedicated to the flavours of Delhi.

Following Chef Pradeep Khullar and Saubhagi Veer work at Nazaara, which was selected for the MICHELIN Guide Dubai 2026, the duo are embracing something deliberately simpler: bringing Delhi-style chole bhature and mutton bhature to Dubai through a takeaway and car-dining concept built around a love for the food, rather than an expansive restaurant format. Opening on Friday, October 16, at Shop 7, Lamcy A Building in Oud Metha, Bhaturewala will serve a tightly focused menu featuring Bhature in two signature flavours – Chole & Mutton accompanied by lassi. There will be no sprawling menu, conventional dining room or full-service restaurant setup. Instead, the focus will remain firmly on the food, with customers able to collect their orders or enjoy them in their cars.

The concept will operate on Friday evenings and on Saturday and Sunday mornings and evenings, with a limit of just 200 plates per day.

For Khullar, the venture is a personal tribute to the city where his culinary journey and love for food took shape.

“Delhi is not just where I grew up; it is a part of who I am as a chef. Some of my strongest food memories are rooted in the streets, neighbourhoods and flavours of that city. Having spent years cooking in fine dining, I wanted to bring something much more personal to Dubai — a little piece of the Delhi I know and love, right here in the neighbourhood I call home. Bhaturewala is my way of sharing those memories through food that is honest, familiar and full of character. It’s not about reinventing Delhi street food; it’s about doing justice to it,” said Chef Pradeep Khullar, Co-founder of Bhaturewala.

For Veer, whose experience spans restaurant leadership and brand building, the opportunity lay in creating something distinctive in a city where chole bhature is already widely available.

“Dubai already has plenty of places serving chole bhature, and we never set out to be just another one. We wanted to build a concept around a simple belief: you don’t need a hundred things on a menu if you can do two things exceptionally well. Specialisation is at the heart of Bhaturewala — getting the food right, staying true to what we set out to serve, and making every plate count. The limited menu and 200-plate-a-day approach are deliberate. We want people to come to us because they know exactly what they’re coming for, and they know we care about getting it right. For us, this is about choosing focus over scale, and quality over quantity from day one,” added Saubhagi Veer, Co-founder of Bhaturewala.

The idea for Bhaturewala took shape after years of conversations, planning and the familiar refrain of kabhi toh karenge — someday, we will do it. The founders have now decided to take that step, building a business of their own on their own terms, alongside their established careers in hospitality.

The approach is intentionally uncomplicated: a focused menu, a limited number of plates, and a casual, neighbourhood-friendly way for customers to enjoy Delhi-inspired food without the ceremony of a traditional restaurant experience.

At its heart, Bhaturewala is guided by one simple thought: Dilli Se Direct, bringing a taste of Delhi to Dubai, straight from the city’s food traditions to the neighbourhood they call home.

Twenty years. Four hotels. Countless stories. And a journey that continues to be shaped by the people who walk through our doors.

In a city that never stands still, Majestic Hotels is celebrating a milestone that means far more than the passing of time. This October marks 20 years of welcoming travellers to Dubai, bringing people together, celebrating special occasions and turning ordinary stays into memories worth returning to.

To mark the occasion, Majestic Hotels is inviting residents and visitors to celebrate with 20% off staycation bookings and an additional 20% discount at its in-house restaurants and dining outlets. Guests can enjoy this special anniversary offer by booking directly through the official website, www.majestichotels.com, using the promo code MAJESTIC20.

The offer is available for bookings made until 31 October 2026, with stays valid until 28 December 2026. Whether it is a well-deserved break, a family getaway or simply a reason to spend time together, there has never been a better time to make a new memory with Majestic Hotels.

Because anniversaries are not just about looking back. They are about remembering how far you have come, appreciating the people who made the journey worthwhile, and looking forward to everything still to come.

Over the past two decades, Dubai has grown, transformed and welcomed the world in ways few cities can match. Majestic Hotels has grown alongside it, from its beginnings to a collection of four properties, each with its own character, guests and stories to tell. Through changing seasons, new beginnings, family holidays, business trips and spontaneous getaways, one thing has remained at the heart of the journey: the people who make every stay matter.

Some guests come for a night and return year after year. Others discover Majestic Hotels for the very first time. There are celebrations remembered long after checkout, familiar faces welcomed back like old friends, and small moments of hospitality that leave a lasting impression. These are the moments that give 20 years their meaning.

Speaking on the occasion, Eti Bhasin, Executive Director, Majestic Hotels, UAE, said:

“When you look back on 20 years, it is not just the number of years or the hotels you remember. It is the people, the conversations, the familiar faces who return, and the many memories created along the way.

Dubai has been part of our story from the very beginning, and it has been incredible to grow alongside this city. We have welcomed guests from all over the world, celebrated milestones with them and, in many ways, become part of their own stories. That is something we are truly proud of.

This anniversary is as much about our guests and our team as it is about Majestic Hotels. We wanted to celebrate in a way that everyone could be part of, so we are bringing the occasion to life with special offers on stays and dining. Twenty years is a milestone worth celebrating, but we believe our best memories are still ahead of us.”

With four properties across Dubai, Majestic Hotels welcomes a diverse mix of leisure and business travelers, offering comfortable stays, convenient locations and dining experiences suited to different occasions. While each property brings its own personality, they share a common purpose: to make guests feel welcome and give them a reason to return.

As the celebrations continue throughout October, guests are invited to make their own memories with Majestic Hotels, whether through a much-needed staycation, a family escape, a catch-up over a good meal or simply a chance to experience Dubai from a different perspective.

Twenty years behind us. A thousand stories worth remembering. And many more memories waiting to be made.

The 20th anniversary offer is available until 31 October 2026 across all four participating Majestic Hotels properties in Dubai.

Participating properties:

• Majestic City Retreat Hotel
• Majestic Central Hotel
• Majestic Premier Hotel
• Majestic Cove Hotel
